2D snapshot of the drawing view?

May 15, 2008 4 Replies

Is there a way to disconnect one view in the drawing from its model and explode (make a snapshot) into a 2D lines?



thanks, Tomas


You can save the drawing as .dwg. That should solve your purpose.

Tomas,

Window select your view, then select "Copy to DWGeditor" from the Edit pull-down menu. Next, paste into DWGeditor, select all again, then Ctrl C, back to SW and Ctrl V.

Couple of notes/tips here:

- Prior to starting the process start DWGeditor

- Be sure to create an "empty view and activate it when pasting back to SW

It is a 4 Step process that Pro/E does in 1 Step, it's called "Snapshot".

Thanks to everybody who responded to this issue.
